Weather Blade

With the help of violent storms, lightning and thunder, Kanae wrestled with Tong Mo alone in the rainstorm for more than an hour, and finally exhausted his playfulness in Tong Mo, and with a sway of the folding fan, he created an appearance that was almost the same as him, an adult knee-high The Ice Crystal Doll was defeated and retreated.

"Can actually use the blood ghost technique with the same power as the winding itself... What is this puppet?!"

In order to avoid the Sanlianhua repeatedly used by the three puppets, Kanae had to retreat to the other side of the creek where the trees were thinning.However, under the continuous bombardment of the three puppet blood ghosts, Kanae still looked anxiously at the forest side frequently, and the peach-colored blade was danced by her, and the torrential rain was scattered.

Even for a second, she must hurry up and get rid of the puppet in front of her, and go to Qianqing and the others, or——

"Oh, I finally got rid of that weird Zhu girl, and I can chat with Xiao Qianqing alone~"

As Kanae expected, after throwing her off, Tong Mo walked up to Qian Qing without hesitation.But he didn't rush to do it, but waved the fan in a good mood, as if he was not in the dark night of the storm, but in the greenhouse of the garden where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

"There is no one else now, Xiaoqianqing, can you tell me your identity?"

"My identity? How about that kind of thing?" Qianqing leaned back against the branch of the big tree, wiped the rainwater from her face, and looked at Fan although the clothes were damaged again under the protection of the dense branches of the big tree. , but there was no scar on his body, Tong Mo, whose breathing rhythm was exactly the same as before, "I have nothing to explain to a ghost who is about to go to hell."

"Otherwise you have gone to hell and still say my name and identity... just imagining it is disgusting enough."

Qianqing muttered a few words in a low voice, then shivered as if disgusted by her own imagination, pulled the kimono that was wet and stuck to her body, and sighed sadly.

"I really don't like rainy days. It's cold even in summer if it's raining like this. Sure enough, let's end it soon."

"It's over? Xiao Qianqing, do you want to fight me?" Tong Mo laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny, and stopped shaking his fan. He covered his belly and curled up into a ball while laughing, "Although your speed is really good. , but you don't even have a sunblade, and your beautiful hands—"

Tong Mo's laughter paused, his voice became lower, and his soft voice was covered by the heavy rain, but at this moment, there happened to be another lightning flash. With the dazzling lightning, Qian Qing could clearly see his mouth shape and read it clearly. his words.

"You seem to have made a mistake." Qian Qing, who had given up fighting against the wet kimono, sighed softly, looking at Tong Mo with a little more helplessness, "First, killing ghosts is not just about killing ghosts with your hands." One way is to wield the sun wheel knife."

"second--"

The sound of the wind slowed down, and the rattling sound of the straw sandals gradually became more pronounced. With Tong Mo's smile on her face, Qian Qing slowly continued the second half of the sentence.

"I never said that I want to fight you myself."

"Hahaha—! Inosuke-sama is here—!"

Against the wind and rain, the young boy wearing a wild boar hood jumped from a high branch, holding a silver white rib that came from nowhere in both hands, and unexpectedly made a surprise attack from the right side of Tong Mo, straight to his neck. Cut it off!

However, in the face of this boy who appeared out of nowhere and seemed weird in every way, Tong Mo didn't pay too much attention, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked away, without even looking , but unfolded the folding fan with a swipe, and received the flat blow from the head-on.

"Water Breath, One-Shaped Water Surface Slash"

The unpretentious but powerful blue blade hit the sharp metal edge of the folding fan, causing the impact to avoid the torrential rain.The flying raindrops turned into ice chips. Tomioka Yoshiyuki relied on his years of fighting instinct to avoid it, but just after he swung a blow in the air, Inosuke, whose leaning forward body was still hanging in mid-air, was in danger.

"Hmph, with this move, don't even think about hurting Inosuke-sama!"

Just when Tomioka Yoshiyuki and Chiharu subconsciously wanted to shoot, Inosuke, who was hanging in the air, suddenly lowered his right hand, thrust the rib in his hand into the ground, and swayed his body quickly using it as a fulcrum, not only dodging those sharp shots perfectly The ice shavings, and even the cold air it brought were avoided.

This kid knows Tong Mo's ability?But he doesn't look like he rushed out... It feels like he avoided these attacks with something like a wild animal's intuition, what a magical guy.

However, although Inosuke relied on his beast instinct to avoid the poisonous cold air in Tongmo's blood ghost technique, Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was about to use the next type of blade when he turned the blade on the other side, was completely unaware of this, Chiharu had no choice but to raise his voice to remind him : "Mr. Tomioka, the cold air is poisonous, don't inhale it!"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka changed his breathing rate, as if he had listened to Chiharu's words, but his expression of indifference was tighter than usual, exuding a strong coldness of repelling people thousands of miles away in the dark night.The thin lips parted lightly, and the order-like words spit out without ups and downs made Qianqing's heart, which had been chilled by the heavy rain, suddenly ignite with anger.

"Come on."

This guy, obviously she asked him to protect Angela and the others in the hotel, but he ran over without authorization and took Inosuke with him, but he even ordered her like a boss?

What should I do if I suddenly want to leave this guy behind?

"Is this aura a water column?"

Here Qianqing was so angry that she was about to lose her mind, and Tong Mo, who had just sent away a pillar, was a little upset by being entangled by another one.

Although Zhu's taste is indeed much more delicious than that of ordinary soldiers, Zhu's words have lost their freshness after seeing many of them in the past hundreds of years. On the contrary, Xiao Qianqing, whose actions are a mystery, is more in his heart.

Moreover, the two people who came this time are men, which is completely uninteresting~

"Hey! You guy with messy eyes, where are you looking?!"

Seeing that Tong Mo didn't give himself the slightest look, instead he chatted happily (?) with Yoshioka Tomioka. The unhappy Inosuke waved his ribs in his hand. The zigzag pattern on the silver-white blade was very beautiful. It's getting brighter.

However, he didn't get a chance to rush out, because Qian Qing who approached him quietly from behind suddenly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, knowing that she would definitely not be able to stop the boy with her own strength, Qian Qing didn't fight with him when he was struggling. He struggled violently, his hands trembling, with a look of fear on his face.

"Great! Kanae was lured to the other side of the creek by the iceman made by this guy, and I was left alone. I was always worried about what to do... Fortunately, Inosuke and you guys are here!" Chiharu Holding his chest, he took a deep breath as if he had escaped from death, and saw Inosuke stunned for a while, "But although I am a little embarrassed, can I ask Inosuke to protect me here?"

"...I really can't do anything about you. In this case, Inosuke-sama will protect you here for the time being!"

Perhaps it was the first time someone had asked him so solemnly. The young man who had been rushing forward seldom stumbled, and then he stood in front of Qian Qing with a knife in both hands, and stared fiercely in the direction of Tong Mo and spoke harshly.

"That eye over there is a mixture of colors! This strange woman over here is covered by my mountain king Inosuke, you are not allowed to shoot her! I understand—"

Before they finished speaking, a cold light flashed in front of them, Chiharu's hand on Inosuke's shoulder tightened and then let go.

【"Ah~ This is indeed a hood~"

"This wild boar skin is quite old, how was it processed?"]

Inosuke's emerald green pupils suddenly constricted, burning brightly as if a flame was burning, and the blood vessels around his eyes bulged.He took a sudden step forward, shaking off Qianqing's hand on his shoulder.

【"...Bastard, give it back to me!"】

Facing Inosuke's extreme anger visible to the naked eye, Tong Mo's smile was always carefree. He even tossed the wild boar headgear in his hand up and down twice as if playing with a ball. Before Inosuke rushed over with both hands raised, he said slowly:

【"Your face looks familiar~ Where have we met?"】

"I don't remember that I—"

Inosuke opened his mouth aggressively to refute, but in the middle of his words, he was held back by someone pressing his head.

"You said you would be obedient." Tomioka Yoshiyuki pressed Inosuke's head and pushed him back to Qianqing's side. He held a knife in both hands and turned his back to them, confronting Tong Mo defensively. Get out, this is not a fight for you who just got a knife."

"...I see." Relying on his inborn keen sense of fighting, although he was very unwilling, after the initial anger, Inosuke calmed down and complied with Tomioka Yoshiyuki's words.

In fact, he knew it when he rushed forward at the very beginning, the guy in front of him whose hair seemed to be covered with wildflowers and whose eyes were messed up was very strong, to the point where even this speechless fried hair might not be able to win...

hateful!Obviously that guy snatched his important headgear!But he couldn't go up and snatch it back himself!He couldn't see a gap in the heavy air formed by the confrontation between the two now, if he just inserted it like this, it would only become a hindrance...Damn it!hateful!hateful!

"Eh? Are you leaving now? I finally remembered the story of the child's mother, and I haven't had time to catch up with him~"

Seeing that Inosuke really pulled Chiharu back a step, in order to avoid the next situation where he was alone with the water column who looked boring at first glance, Tong Mo hurriedly made a noise and continued to do things that were easy to be beaten to attract hatred. people stay.

【"Twelve years ago, your mother came to seek my protection while holding you as a baby."

"She was beaten by her husband and bullied by her mother-in-law. She had no relatives to rely on, so she had to seek help from the Bliss Cult. Although she was beaten beyond recognition at the time and was blind in one eye, she was a beautiful child again after being cured."

"That beautiful face is exactly the same as yours. Is she your mother?"

"...I don't have any mother. I was raised by wild boars! It has nothing to do with her!"]

Inosuke retorted loudly, but his voice lost the vigor it had before.

He actually had a vague impression of a gentle smiling face...but he always thought it was Kanae, that's why he couldn't hold back when they hadn't returned for a long time, and tried his best to make that stern face silent, but it was the same at first glance. Very worried fried hair.It just so happened that he also seemed to have noticed something, and instead of stopping him, he took the initiative to come with him...

【"Did you remember? Speaking of which, your mother often hugged you and sang some Ragou swear songs. The lyrics are different every time. It's so cute. I didn't intend to eat her, but Qin Ye The child was too keen to discover that I was eating believers, scolded me and fled the monastery, and finally had nowhere to go, and left you on the cliff."]

Lagou swears...

A figure of a woman in a light yellow kimono suddenly appeared in Inosuke's mind. Although her face was blurred and she couldn't see clearly, the gentle voice singing the nursery rhyme "Hanging on a hook and not allowed to change for 100 years" sounded as real as if it was ringing in my ears.

Mother……

Anger overwhelmed reason in an instant, Inosuke turned his body around, and his overstretched feet stamped out deep marks on the soft mud.

"You said you would be obedient."

The slightly cool wide palm pressed against Inosuke's head again, blocking his steps.

"You can't beat him."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka's voice was always cold, but even if he was not good at reading people's minds like him, seeing Inosuke whose anger almost burned into a fireball at this time, he could guess the mood of this young boy at this time.

So he was silent for a while, then changed the topic 720 degrees unskillfully, and said slowly:

"Your headgear is much prettier than his, and I will help you get it back."

The author has something to say:

——Children will forget the unhappy things before if they praise them, so don't be so stern, they lie, cough, find a stepson back!

Yiyong remembered that Master Linlong had told him so.

hhhh I finally wrote that the two met!
